* DIO-0402, DIO-0404, DIO-0804, DIO-1616 (These DIO boards contain RS-422/485 convertors)
Please note that the DIO-1604 is not compatible with HICAP25. DI/O-0402, 0404, 0804 boards, since HICAP25 is not compatible
with other Comart models. HICAP25 is 4ch as default and can be expandable by 8ch and 16ch with 8ch and 16 extension kits
respectively
** The main MID and MIS boards each have two daughter boards. By adding one daughter board, it becomes MID8ch and MIS8ch
respectively. By adding two daughter boards, it becomes MID16ch and MIS16ch respectively.
All rights reserved. Copying in whole or in part is prohibited without expressed written authorization from the manufacturer 4
http://www.comartsystem.com
MID and MIS share the same daughter board. As you can see in the previous page, the only difference between MID and MIS is the
total recording speed as per second. MIS records videos at 100fps per second while MID records videos at 25fps.
*** MIG4CH is only designed for 4 channels and has 4 BNC connectors. It has one (1) internal Molex connector as well.
**** MIG4CH TV OUT has a composite super video-out in a pair. This displays the same video on analog TV with PC monitor screen
without GUI. The output is not programmable at all, but is fixed by designing hardware accordingly.
***** Each composite and super video-out in a pair displays the same video on analog TV. The quality of super video-out is better
than the composite one. The MID & MIS TV-out is an optional add-on board that the user needs to purchase additionally.
TV-out 1 displays the same video as the PC monitor screen. However, TV-out 2 is dependent on the PC monitor screen in order to
display videos on analog TV as in the table below. The output is not programmable at all, but can be fixed by designing hardware.

****** Unlike Hicap series, MIG4CH, MID and MIS all have hardware overlay function that provides real-live display.
The user can monitor clear videos in real-live quality while it records videos respectably ( as described in the specification
sheet ). As the full-frame of a single video per second is 30fps, it can be equal up to 240fps for 8ch DVR board and to 480fps
for the 16ch one

Comart ‘DIO1604’ Connections.
This is an example of how to do a wire connection between Sensors and Alarms with Comart’s DIO 1604.
3-4.1.1. DI connections.
In order to use DI sensors, the user needs to configure an adaptor with EXTERNAL VCC+12 and EXTERNAL GND
as shown in the above first. This is required because our DVR boards use photo diodes so as to receive signals from
DI. By employing DI this way, the user can protect the DVR board from any electronic shock and/or harmful static
electricity.
3-4.1.2. DO connections.
When the user connects DO alarms, you connect with 'B' and 'C'. The DO is opened and it is going to close with
signals from the application.

4. PC SPECIFICATION REQUIRED
4-1. PC MOTHERBOARD
Our DVR boards are compatible with Intel ATX-chipset motherboard. You can use a motherboard built-on with Intel
Chipset.
I) Please note that certain PCs with OEM motherboards containing Intel chipsets might not be compatible with our board.
II) We have found that some motherboards with SIS chipsets work very well with our board. However, we do not recommend you to
use SIS chipset motherboards since the working condition is different for each manufacturer.
III) Some motherboards with VIA chipsets provide unstable PCI clock although the user can find some good VIA chipset
motherboards for our model. We do not recommend you to use VIA chipset motherboards either.
IV) The motherboard we recommend is only the ones with Intel chipsets. If you still would like to try other chipset motherboards,
you need to test and find one at your side.
V) Current our Hicap & MIS might not be compatible with the motherboard with latest chipset(s) after 915 chipset.
We’re going to support the motherboards with latest chipset(s) after 915 chipset after modifying device drivers on Hicap & MIS.
4-2. CPU
Since we recommend Intel chipset motherboard, we also recommend you to use Intel CPU because Intel does not
support AMD CPU with their chipsets. We recommend Intel Pentium IV 1.6 or faster with our applications.
I) It was reported that AMD CPU with some VIA chipset could work with some of our models, but we do not recommend.
II) Our drivers are not compatible with dual CPUs. You cannot use dual CPUs with our DVR board.
III) The minimum CPU specification required is Pentium III 866. As for Hicap200, we recommend you to use at least Pentium IV 2.4
or faster because it requires a lot of CPU work to get the maximum recording frame.
IV) The Hyper-threading function should be inactivated in CMOS setup when using hyper-threading supported CPU. If not, image
distortion and/or noise might occur.
4-3. VGA
We recommend ATI chipset built-on AGP VGA card.
I) Some customers use other chipset VGA card, but we found that ATI VGA card is the one that does not have any problem.
II) If you still would like to try other chipset VGA card, you need to test and find one at your side.

8-4.1.
In our application Ver. 5.X.X, you have to select one between Hera and AC97 (Motherboard Sound device or
any Sound card device).
8-4.2.
When using a Hera board, each Audio channel is being recorded together with the same video channel.
8-4.3.
For Hera board inputs, we provide two RCA octopus cables and each one has 8 channel inputs. Since the
connector type is RCA, you need to convert the connector into RCA if you want to connect a microphone
with Hera.
8-4.4.
Hera board has OP-AMP to magnify audio inputs. So, if audio data inputs are already being magnified,
the captured audio data could be loud.
8-4.5.
There are two audio outputs for Hera.
Speaker Out: from this output, you can just connect a cable to the speaker
Line Out: you can use this output when you want to amplify the audio signal
8-4.6.
In the main application, you can select one of audio inputs from Hera and monitor it with any of Speaker Out
or Line Out. Also, in the search application, you can select one of the audio channels that is recorded on
your HDD so as to playback the data.

In order to share the chip, cameras are hooked up differently in each model as you can see.
For example, when you connect only 4 cameras with a Hicap50 to camera 1, 2, 3, and 4, the each recording frame
you can get Max. per channel will be 15fps in NTSC and 12fps in PAL.
However, if you connect to camera 1, 3, 5, and 7, you use only one chip and the maximum frame will be 30fps. So,
the each recording frame you can get Max. per channel will be 7fps in NTSC and 6fps in PAL.
When you slice vide frames per channel, you can set up recording frames differently per channel. In the same
recording chip group, you can slice video frames as you like.
All rights reserved. Copying in whole or in part is prohibited without expressed written authorization from the manufacturer 73
http://www.comartsystem.com
In Hicap100, you can slice 30fps for 4 cameras instead of setting up the recording frame equal to every camera. You
can set Camera 1 at 10fps and provide the left frames for other cameras. In this case, you reduce frame rate first to
provide more frame rate to other channels.
Please note that MIG4ch is a bit different from other models. Although you set up each recording speed differently per
channel, MIG4ch has a trend to record videos at the highest frame you set for any camera.
11-3.1
CAMERA SELECT
You can choose any camera number by clicking the number. Then, you can individually set options you like per each
camera.
If you click ‘A’, it automatically set ‘Capture Frame’ and ‘Continuous Recording Frame’ to average frame for every
camera channel. After you set all options for any camera channel, it will automatically change what you have chosen
into other camera channels as well except the case ‘Capture Frame’ and ‘Continuous Recording Frame’ are set when
you click ‘A’.
If you want to adjust ‘Capture Frame’ and ‘Continuous Recording Frame’ per each camera, you should not click ‘A’
because it will make every camera’s frame to the default rate as average.
11-3.2
DEFAULT
Click ‘Enable Camera’ if you want to use the selected camera. Then, the other options will be enabled to be selected.
If you click ‘Camera Position’ on OSD Mode of DEFAULT SETUP page, what you name in the box of Installation
Location will be displayed while monitoring.
11-3.3
RECORD
In our Application program, we support three resolutions such as Low(352*240), High(704*240), and
Progressive(704*480).
Regarding High resolution (704*480:NTSC, 704*576:PAL), do not select 704*480 in our application unless you use a
progressive camera. It means that you actually record interlaced videos at this resolution. To record videos at
704*480 without interlaced videos, you must use Progressive CCTV cameras.
Otherwise, you generally have to select High(704*240) to record videos at 704*480, then it captures videos at a semihigh resolution like 704*240 and stretch the video out to 704*480 for Playback. Applying this way, it can be possible to
get 704*480 screen in our application.
The video images recorded in 704*240 resolution provide non-interlaced videos than ones recorded in 704*480.
There are some limitations on choosing video resolutions due to computer PCI bandwidth.
All rights reserved. Copying in whole or in part is prohibited without expressed written authorization from the manufacturer 74
http://www.comartsystem.com
Therefore, we recommend you to select video resolutions according to the following;
- Required data size per Video Resolution
Low Video Resolution (352*240) per Recording chip group: 5MB/sec
High Video Resolution (704*240) per Recording chip group: 10MB/sec
Progressive Video Resolution (704*480) per Recording chip group: 20MB/sec
Live Display board requires basically 20MB/sec.
So, you have a limitation to select a video resolution for recording chip groups with some DVR models.
Hicap50
: 2 Recording chips- 10~40MB/sec (No problem with any resolutions mixed)
Hicap100
: 4 Recording chips- 20~80MB/sec (Should be lower than 60MB/sec always)
Hicap200
: 8 Recording chips- 40~160MB/sec (Should be lower than 60MB/sec always)
MIG4ch
: 4 Recording chips- 20~80MB/sec+20MB/sec (Should be lower than 60MB/sec always)
MID series
: 1 Recording chip- 5~20MB/sec+20MB/sec (No problem with any resolutions mixed)
MIS series
: 4 Recording chip- 20~80MB/sec+20MB/sec (Should be lower than 60MB/sec always)
For Hicap100, Hicap200, MIG4ch and MIS series, you need to take care of the video resolutions per the group to
avoid distorted videos.
As many as you mix different resolutions, the maximum recording speed you can get will be
decreasing. So, if you need to record cameras at a different video resolution, it’d be better get same resolution
cameras in the same video group so that you can avoid losing many frames from it.

You can select between 1~99 for Quality with MJPEG. The more you select high quality, the more you can get clear
and vivid images, however its file size will be bigger.
11-3.4
CAPTURE
Capture Frame is the frame rate per second that Hicap series display videos on the Main software in our application.
You can add more frame rate on any channel after you reduce frame rates from other channels in the same
Recording chip group. So, it displays and records videos at Capture Frame rate as it is set.
Continuous Recording Frame is used only when you schedule RECORD SCHEDULE with a Continuous mode while
Sensor, Motion, Audio, and Sensor & Motion recording modes will record videos at Capture Frame rate. Continuous
Recording Frame cannot be higher than Capture Frame so it depends on the Capture Frame rate.
Unlike Hicap series, the display of MIG4ch, MID and MIS series just provide real-live display for monitoring. In these
models, Capture Frame does not have any relationship with their Live display at all but only with recording modes.
Note that if there is no camera connection; please do not select “Enable Camera”.

If you select enable camera which really have no camera input, it might cause unexpected operation
11-3.5
CODEC
You can choose Video Compression Codec we provide between MJPEG, Advanced MPEG4. If you choose MJPG as
your video codec, you can get high quality images although the file size is bigger than Advanced MPEG4. Meanwhile,
if you prefer smaller file size to the Video quality, we recommend you to choose MPEG4 as the compressed file size
of MPEG4 is minimum three or four times smaller than MJPEG.
You can select video compression codec per each camera differently.
** Average File size per codec:
11-3.6
MJPEG
6 ~ 12 Kbytes
Advanced MPEG4
2~5 Kbytes
EVENT FRAME
In Sensor, Motion, Audio and Sensor & Motion recording mode, you can record up to 3 frames before and after the
event triggering with Pre & Post Frame.
By using Hold Event, you can record more video frames when events from Sensor, Motion, Audio and Sensor &
Motion modes are triggered.

SENSITIVITY
You can adjust the sensitivity on detecting Motions. As closed to 1, the sensitivity level goes more sensitive.
11-5.3
DO SELECT
If you installed Comart DIO board or Back panel, you can use DO to assign Alarms to trigger with Motion Detected.
Click DO numbers you want to connect with the selected camera. Then, select how long you want to assign for DOs
you select.
11-5.4
NIGHT MOTION
During night times, it depends on camera quality but they usually take a lot of video noises. So, although you set up a
right value for day times for Motion Detection, this video channel may keep recording videos all night long. To avoid
this problem, you click Enable Night Motion. Then, you can set times and different value for night times.

11-5.5
INSERT MOTION DETECTION ZONE
You can select each individual camera one by one and insert motion detection zones (up to 16 zones) by clicking on
the “Insert Zone” box and drawing in boxed zones. Then, click “Test”. It will display motion signs as above if there is
any motion detected. By clicking “Insert Entire Zone”, you will select the whole box automatically.
Insert Entire Zone
You can select when you wish to set whole area as motion detection zone.
However, as the motion detection zone is smaller, it is much more sensitive than when it’s not set as motion detection
zone at the same condition of sensitivity.
Clear Zone
You can remove motion detection zone you created one by one by clicking left mouse button.
Clear Entire Zone
You can remove whole area you created by setting Insert Entire Zone
The sensitivity of Motion Detection in our application is from the percentage of changed pixels in selected Zone. This
is very important to understand this concept clearly so that you use our application well without any problem with your
customer.
When you insert a small zone in the box, let’s say there are 500 pixels and you set the sensitivity level as 1 for
example. In this case, our application will detect Motions when at least over 5 pixels are different from the very
previous video frame.
At the same video camera above, you insert a smaller zone this time and let’s say there are 100 pixels at the same
sensitivity level condition. In this case, our application will detect Motions with at least over 1 pixel is different from the
very previous video frame.
As it describes above, a smaller MD zone is more sensitive than big one at the same sensitivity condition. If there is
more than 1 MD zone in the box, our application set the condition with the smallest MD zone for the percentage
concept.
If it monitors kind of a long range, objects are probably smaller than one in real. In this case, although you set the
sensitivity level as 1 with an entire zone selected, it will not detect video motion detections at all. So, you’d better
break some more zones instead of one although CPU becomes a bit more busy.
Note that it does not record any videos if you do not set any in this motion mode even though you set motion
detection in Record Schedule section of Recording setup.

‘Sampling Rate’ is referred to the Audio sound level to record. The higher you select the rate, the clearer the recorded
sound you’ll get. In the mean time, the size of recorded Audio file will be bigger when you select a higher bit rate.
11-6.4
AUDIO DETECTION
If you want to record Audio data by using this Audio Detection function, you need to adjust the height of two red lines
for the sensitivity of Audio detection. Audio data between two red lines will be ignored. The data out of two red lines
as you can see above will be detected and recorded in our application. Once it is detected, you will see signs like left.
The default setting of this Audio Detection window is referred to 0. There is no gap between two red
lines. In this case, our program could detect Audio data although there is no Audio input with some noisy. Then, the
system will recognize it as Audio detected.

FILE MANAGEMENT
The file management function allows you to efficiently use your hard drive space. It displays the size and location of
hard drives in use and free space remaining. The size of one image-box is about 100M bytes. You need to create
image-boxes that the application program uses to store images. The application program only saves images in the
image-boxes you create. When all the image-boxes are full, the program deletes the one the oldest video of the
image-box and can write new images. Therefore, if you want to save old image data longer, you need to add more
image-boxes on your hard drive.
If you use HERA audio board to record 16CH audio with image, you need to remain maximum 30% of total HDD
capacity. For ex. If you’re going to create 100GBytes Imagebox for Video Recording space, we recommend you to
have more 30GB space for 16ch audio recording.
Present Image-box
: shows you how many image-boxes you have made.
Add Image-box
: shows the number of image-boxes you can add.
To add more image-boxes, click the box that is below ‘Add Imagebox’. Scroll down and select the number of imageboxes you wish to make. Then, you must click ‘Start’ button.

When you install hard drives with a CD-ROM drive, the CD-ROM drive should be installed as the last drive. If you
install a CD-ROM drive before any hard drives, our application can not really check HDDs after CD-ROM.
We are using a special data recording system using Imagebox.
In this system, until you fill one image-box up with video data, you are not able to playback the videos in the current
imagebox you are using to record videos.
If you have must-see videos in the current imagebox, you need to exit the main application first and run the Search
